I like stuff like Nuclear Throne that keeps my full attention away from things like my sinuses actively trying to kill me.

Maybe take a nap so you can get well soon and resume gaming at 100%

That being said, Michael Jordan put like 46 points on the loving board one time with full blown flu, so there's no reason you can't handle some pixels from the comfort of your bed

A reviewer in an ancient copy of a British retro gaming magazine said that having SARS was the perfect excuse for playing Dark Chronicle all day (Dark Cloud 2 for us Yanks).

Actually, it depends on the sick. If you're suffering from something like vomiting or diarrhea, it may be optimal to play a game that is both engaging and easily put down, or play a handheld.

fever and sore throat, so low intensity would be good. I've been playing Rune Factory 4 today and it's really good for fever gaming. playing a handheld also means that you can go and lie down while gaming.

Just play a video game that you have OP, or rest for the sake of your health. Making your own decisions in life is fairly win.

Heroes 3 is good cause you can take your time and it's easy to lie on the couch and play if you have a TV gaming setup.

How bad are you? Like hard to focus on poo poo or are you good to go play some fast paced action games?

im a big fan of this thread because it references one of the most legendary SNL sketches of all time in which Christopher Walken plays the role of Bruce Dickonson with a seeming infatuation of the cowbell instrument used in their hit song 'dont fear the reaper'.

all in all its an incredible bit of comedy history that lives on to this day

I'm better today thanks to resting and Rune Factory 4 yesterday, thanks for asking. Still sick but in a much better place to play video games. Tried Dishonored but then I had a legitimate BSoD in tyool 2015 so I'm scared to try again.
